Engineering Manager, Cloud Engineering

Job Description

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what's next.

The Opportunity:

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineering Leader who will lead and grow a team of Software Engineers within the Cloud Network Engineering organization. This team is responsible for delivering secure, performant, and easy to operate network observability tooling, for enhancing our DNS management control plane, and customizing host network interface software. The team provides software solutions that ensure consistent network performance throughout the Netflix ecosystem.

This team has reliably enabled Netflix's hyper cloud growth by co-innovating with AWS, driving technologies like IPv6, Hybrid infrastructure, and delivering eBPF-based products to create novel solutions to classic problems. If you're looking for a deeply technical and highly dynamic opportunity that will have an outsized impact on how Netflix scales in the future, we'd love to talk to you!

What you will do:
• Lead a team of stunning software engineers developing network observability, DNS control plane, and network interface software.
• Hire, oversee, and grow software developers.
• Form strong cross-functional partnerships driven by trust to achieve alignment with many engineering teams and ensure our solutions meet their needs, while maintaining our focus on agility, scalability, reliability, and efficiency.
• Build Netflix's network observability capability, guiding the development of a visibility platform that engineering teams use to understand, debug, and secure their traffic.
• Improve the distributed system control plane that enables safe DNS management at Netflix.

What we are looking for:
• A product-focused leader who understands what customers want and has a passion for building high-scale critical platforms.
• Leadership that treats the Engineering process as a product, identifies friction in how the team builds, ships, and fixes software.
• Strong software development focus with past work abstracting away complexity and guiding teams to deliver simple, effective solutions to customers.
• Outcome-focused mindset, consistently thinks from first principles.
• Experience building and operating complex distributed systems at scale. We use AWS; experience with building/consuming the networking stack of a public cloud is a plus.
• Shipping through organizational complexity. Proactively resolves cross-team dependencies, migration sequencing, competing priorities. Builds consensus and influences peer teams to move initiatives forward.
• Solid understanding of Layer3/Layer4 networking, and network security is a plus.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
